Graycliff Profesionale P.G.

This was my first Graycliff. Like many who have reviewed this cigar, I thought it a good, but not great stick, especially when considering the MSRP on these babies. I scored a couple for five dollars each on C-bid and after smoking the PG, I wouldn't pay any more than that. The burn and draw on the one I smoked was excellent. It also is an attractive cigar that you can tell was rolled by the best. However, where this cigar is only slightly above average is the flavor. Yes, it was tasty, but nothing I couldnt have gotten from a three dollar cigar. The Graycliffe Profesionale PG has a fair amount of complexity with a spicy, sweet, toastinees. The flavor was noticeably different for the first puff after I ashed it each time, then it had the flavor of burn't tobacco. It was medium to strong, and could have been smoother, but maybe that's because it only spent about three months in the humidor. I'll age the last one and meet you back here in about a year.

Purchased one for $11 based on hype.... Did not live up to all the hype, and way over-priced! I've smoked $1 sticks with more flavor. Continued smoking it to see if it might improve but to no avail. Unable to finish this cigar which is a rarity for me. Might have been a dud, but it these prices I should have gotton something, anything but noddha!!!

This particular Graycliff was phenomenal. Normally, I wouldn't even buy them because the price is completely prohibitive. I ended up getting 10 for $55.00 on special at CI -- I should have gotten more! The appearance was completely flawless. Only one of them had a soft spot about half way up. The draw was perfect and the pre-light draw hinted at a bit of cpiciness. Upon light, this cigar was one of the most complex that I had smoked in a long time. It didn't dissapoint and I ended up enjoying it all the way down to the nubs. It was so good, it made me actually consider buying a full box even though they are ridiculously overpriced.

I got lucky?? I hit CI sale on these. They seemed a bit dry so I put them promptly in the humi for a R & R. I lit one off th other day and NOT UP TO THE HYPE. Burned withthe same problems as others have mentioned. Flavor was BLAND and left unpleasent after taste on my tonuge.

Great cigar, great taste, volumes of spicy smoke. A bit harsh start, but mellowed out quickly. Only complaint I can make is an irregular burn that was problematic for the first third of the stick. A good value for the price, though I don't know how anxious I'd be to pay full price.

not tasty as advertised-overpriced (even on cigarbid.com)
uneven burn even after careful toasting
loose construction
give me a padron anyday!!

I definitely liked this better than the Red Label, as I begin to knock off my PG Robusto 5-pack (still have the green, crystal white label and expresso black label). I have yet to be really impressed by Graycliff, as I hoped to be. First great bands, supposed reputation... yet the construction, and appearance are just above avg. good cigar. Not as fully tight a roll all the way through as I would like/demand of a cigar of this calibre. Yet I am a flavor guy - and the Professionale has a very good consistant flavor all the way through. Lots of smoke... Now the price-- first let me say I spend some coin on good cigars - Padrons etc., and I like to mix it up flavor wise. But Graycliffs seem extreeemely to over-priced (at least retail). They had to be tried and I will continue to smoke the crystal and expresso I have to see their high-end, but these babies are compareable to Olivas etc. anyday - for a fraction of the price. They are definitely GOOD cigars, not worthy of the HIGH price and hype. Worth checking out, even if I won't buy again...

picked up a 5 pack of these from cbid for $40. Sat in humidor for a month before I couldn't resist the urge no longer. Unfortunately was somewhat disappointed. Flavor was nothing to rave about. Burn was terrible. Many better sticks at a cheaper price. 4 more to try so hopefully.......

This a cigar to be enjoyed. Outstanding construction and a perfect burn. Wiht lots a gerat flavor. It's not a powerful at it's advertised, but it is powerful. The flavor was spice and kind of sweet, a very enjoyable smoke. To bad they cost so much.

I have yet to not like a Graycliff...except for the price. This one is medium in body at the light, with some spice and a little bit of harshness. The middle is smooth toastiness and a sweet earthy flavor, building in strength towards the end. A very nice cigar if I could afford them regularly.

A wonderfully smooth cigar. Strong, but never got harsh. Smoked all the way to the nub (which I normally can't do). Had a light sweet taste to me. All the better that I smoked it at the Graycliff Hotel in Nassau where they are made! Expensive but a wonderful smoke.

A beautifully made robusto, that burns well tastes good and smokes aplenty, spicy but smooth. Strong enough not to make you regret a cuban robusto. Expensive, though, at Euro 14 ($17) apiece.

The construction of this cigar is almost perfect. A beautiful white ash that hangs on for almost the entire cigar. A strong cigar as well.
